Welcome to the Lodi Curling Club

The club was founded in 1880, and has been at its current location in Lodi, Wisconsin since 1949. The club is a two sheet facility, which was renovated in 2007 with a warm viewing room, kitchen area, and a locker room. The facility is entirely run by the volunteer efforts of our members, including making and maintaining the ice, ensuring that the building is in shape, hosting various bonspiels, and recruiting new members.

Our curling season usually starts around late November and continues till the end of March. The club has nightly leagues during the week.

Our History

Curling is believed to have started in Lodi in the 1860′s, but on Tuesday December 14, 1880 a group of men met in downtown Lodi to organize a "curlers club". Those present, elected J.O. Eaton as President, J.F. Collin as Secretary, and J.W. Watson, Treasurer. Mr. James Wilson moved that a curling club be organized, with two "rinks" or teams. and that the club be called the "Lodi Curling Club". The motion passed and thus the Lodi Curling Club came to be.

In 1892, the Lodi Curling club, along with Portage, Arlington, Cambria and Poynette, became one of the eight founding members of the Northwestern Curling Association of America.
